A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 25 March, 0442 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 04:00 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 28 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 14 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 28 minutes and 6 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 04:00:27 UT.
